With 15 years of performing comedy under this belt, it’s easy to see why the stage seems like such a natural environment to Brendan McKeigan. Brendan’s act also won him a performance at Montreal’s coveted Just For Laughs, “Homegrown Comic Competition,” where he received rave reviews from the audience and his peers alike. He is also the headliner and producer of the “Rise of the Comics Comedy Tour”, performing all across Canada.

Brendan’s intriguing high energy, laid back, free-flowing style with clever joke telling and creative analogies prove why he’s more observant than your creepy neighbour, why people are talking about this catapulting talent on the rise and why he isn’t the “next anyone”, he’s the first Brendan McKeigan.
